How do types of Christianity differ?
In the very early days of Christianity, there was considerable diversity among Christians. Even Paul talked of people worshipping a "different Christ" - not just a "different Christianity". Among others, there were Nazarenes, several denominations of Gnostics, Marcionites and the group that later became dominant and is now known as the Catholic Orthodox Church. However, there is very little now known about the beliefs of most of the early Christian sects. We do know that the Gnostics believed that the supreme God created the spiritual world and that an inferior God, sometimes called the Demiurge, created the material world. Arian Christianity evolved a little later, when a popular Libyan priest called Arius declared that Christ, while divine, was not divine in the same way as God the Father. Around 318, Alexander, bishop of Alexandria, declared these views heretical and then had the wording that Christ was "of one being with God" adopted at the Council of Nicaea. After the 'Catholic Orthodox Church' became the official religion of the Roman Empire at the end of the fourth century, it was in a position to persecute the other Christian sects, destroying their books and forcibly converting their followers. As luck would have it, a large collection of Gnostic books was hidden in an amphora at Nag Hammadi in Egypt, waiting for us to find it in the twentieth century. This has provided us with some valuable information about differences in the early types of Christianity. Following the Great Schism of of 1054, the Catholic Orthodox Church split into the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox. From around 1500, Protestantism spread in much of northern Europe. Although the original intention of the Protestant leaders was to reform the Roman Catholic Church and eliminate what they saw as corruption, theoligical differences soon developed. One difference apparent even to the casual observer is that Protestant churches do not permit their members to pray before statues of the saints, regarding this as a form of idolatory. New types of Christianity have continued to evolve, right up to the present day. Mormonism is an example of a type of Christianity from the 19th century. This certainly differs in many ways from most other denominations. The Book of Mormon claims that a group of Jews emigrated to the Americas about 600 BCE and established a Christian community there long before the birth of Christ. Mormons also believe that there are many gods, although we only need to concern ourselves with God the Father and Jesus.

When rolling a cube 60 times how many times will it land on a number greater than 3?
Assuming the die is fair, the probability of a number greater than three is a half so the EXPECTATION would be that it will land on a number greater than 3 thirty times. But, this is the expectation; the actual number could be anything from 0 to 60.

Why does X always go first on an ordered pair?
so that you can always know wich number tells you to go over and wich goes up
Number of ways that the thousand digit can be odd = 5 (1, 3, 5, 7, or 9)
Number of ways that the hundred digit can be even = 5 (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8)
These two digits are always different. Total number of possible pairs = 5 x 5 = 25.
For each pair, the tens digit can be any one of 8 digits (it can't be the same as
either the thousands or the hundreds) = 8 possibilities for the tens digit.
For each of those, the units digit can be any one of 7 digits (it can't be the same as
the thousands, the hundreds, or the tens) = 7 possibilities for the units digit.
Total number of different numbers that can be written according to these rules =
25 x 8 x 7 = 1,400
Here are three possible interpretations of the question, with answers:
A) How many combinations are possible when when rolling three identical regular dice simultaneously, if all the dice show an even number?
Answer: 10 (Originally given by Mehta matics)
... (2,2,2) -> 6
... (2,2,4) -> 8
... (2,2,6), (2,4,4) -> 10
... (2,4,6), (4,4,4) -> 12
... (2,6,6), 4,4,6) -> 14
... (4,6,6) -> 16
... (6,6,6)-> 18
B) How many combinations result in an even total when rolling three identical regular dice simultaneously?
Answer:28
... The totals must be between 3 and 18 inclusive.
... sum of 4: (1,1,2)
... sum of 6: (1,1,4), (1,2,3), (2,2,2)
... sum of 8: (1,1,6), (1,2,5), (1,3,4), (2,2,4), (2,3,3)
... sum of 10: (1,3,6), (1,4,5), (2,2,6), (2,3,5), (2,4,4), (3,3,4)
... sum of 12: (1,5,6), (2,4,6), (2,5,5), (3,3,6), (3,4,5), (4,4,4)
... sum of 14: (2,6,6), (3,5,6), (4,4,6), (4,5,5,)
... sum of 16: (4,6,6), (5,5,6)
... sum of 18: (6,6,6), for a total of 1+3+5+6+6+4+2+1 =28 combinations.
C) When rolling three regular dice, how many even totals are possible?
Answer: 8
... 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18.
How is experimental error different from mistake?
Even with no mistakes in a carefully conducted experiment, error is expected. That word error does not mean a mistake, it means that measurements can never find exactly the quantity being measured.
Suppose you measure the length of a table top, you might find it's 48.8 inches. Does that mean 48.800000 inches? no it does not, because you can't measure to an accuracy of one millionth of an inch without special equipment. Your experimental error is the difference between your measurement and the exact length of the table.
What is the probability of rolling a sum of ten with a single toss of two fair six-sided dice?
3/36 = 1/12 = 0.0833... or 8.33... %
How many 3 digits numbers can be formed from numbers 0-9?
The 3-digit numbers are all the counting numbers from 100 to 999.
That's (the first 999 counting numbers) minus (the first 99 of them).
There are 900 of them.
What two simpler problems can you use to find 4 times 22?
22 * 2 =44
44 * 2 = 88
Partitioning 22 is not an option since that leads to 3 problems, not 2:
4 * 20 = 80
4 * 2 = 8
and 80 + 8 = 88
Formally, the difference between two numbers, x and y, is abs(x - y) which is never negative. If the two numbers are the same then the difference is 0 else it is positive.
If you define the difference as x - y then it is
positive if x > y,
0 if x = y and
negative if x < y.
How many 3 digit numbers can you make using 1 2 3 4?
106
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Rafaelrz.
You can make, 4P3 = 4!/(4-3)! = 24, different 3 digit numbers using 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Can you find and describe the mode?
The mode is the number that appears most often in any given set. If none of the numbers are repeated, there is no mode.
What is the 88th percentile mean out of 90 people taking a test?
It means a score equivalent to or higher than the top 88% of people who took it. In this case, that would mean your score was higher than that of 79-80 other people.
What are the Odds of rolling doubles?
Answer 1:
The odds are very easy to calculate. Simply divide the number of "valid" rolls against all possible rolls. For ease, you can write down all possible combination for the 2 dice.
1-1; 1-2; 1-3; 1-4....and so on, remember 1-4 and 4-1 are different rolls
There are 36 unique possible combination, and 6 of them are doubles, so that's 6/36 chances (and since 6 goes into 36, 6 times, this reduces to 1/6) or about 17%
Answer 2:
Another way to look at this problem, generically, is to assume we have an 'n' face dice. In most cases, dice have 6 faces (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). But why not create a solution that works for any number of sides? Well, if we are trying to calculate the probability of rolling two dice (dice-1 and dice-2) of 'n' sides at the same time and having them turn up as doubles, only one of the dice really matters. Here's why. Dice-1 is guaranteed to land on a number 1-n. This will happen every time (on a fair dice, disregarding freak incidents). What we are trying to calculate is the probability that dice-2 will land on the SAME number as dice-1. Dice-2 can only land on one of 'n' values: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... , 'n'. For you non math folks, this just means it must land on a number from 1 to 'n' where 'n' is the number of sides on your dice. Out of all of the sides that dice-2 can PHYSICALLY land on, one of the sides MUST necessarily have the same as the value that dice-1 landed on. That is to say, if dice-1 landed on the value 3, there must be some chance that dice-2 will also land on the value 3. The probability of this occurring on a fair die is 1 divided by the total number of possible outcomes, which would be 'n'. So, really, there is a 1/n chance that dice-2 will land on the same number as dice-1. Thus, our probability for rolling doubles is simple 1/n. For our 6 sided dice example, our dice-1 lands on some value between 1 and 6 and there is a 1/6 chance dice-2 will match it.
